Rare footage of the Russian BTR-MRU-D air defense reconnaissance and control vehicle, based on the BTR-MDM Rakushka. The MRU-D is used by the Russian Airborne Forces and is equipped with the MRU-D (9S932-2) air defense reconnaissance and control module with the 1L122-1 Garmon radar. In this case, the MRU-D works together with the Russian Strela-10 air defense missile system. The MRU-D radar was first shown in 2018 and is designed to detect air targets at low and medium altitudes. The MRU-D air defense module operators transmit data via secure communication channels for target designation by the Strela-10MN air defense missile system or by crews with the Verba MANPADS. The MRU-D radar is capable of detecting targets at a range of up to 40 km, at target flight speeds of up to 700 m/s and flight altitudes of up to 10 km. The MRU-D radar can track up to 100 targets simultaneously. The radar is ready for operation for 5 minutes, and is controlled by two operators. Information about the BTR-MDM is available on the channel.

Rare footage of the flight and explosion of a Russian cruise missile Kh-22 in the Lipetsk region of Russia has been published. The video, filmed on February 1, shows the force of the Kh-22 missile explosion and the crater that forms after the explosion. Presumably, the Kh-22 missile was launched from a Tu-22M3 aircraft and its engine failed. Kh-22 missiles were accepted into service by the USSR in 1971. In 2000, Ukraine returned 386 Kh-22 cruise missiles to Russia as a debt write-off. After that, Russia modernized the missiles almost to the level of Kh-32 missiles. By 2022, Russia had at least 400 Kh-22 missiles. It is believed that even now, the Kh-22 missile can overcome the Aegis air defense system. You can evaluate the characteristics of some types of Kh-22 missiles in the table. The missile has a liquid rocket engine R-201-300 and inertial guidance with subsequent final active radar homing on the target. New modifications of the Kh-22 missiles have a flight range of up to 600 kilometers, at a speed of up to 5600 kilometers per hour, at an altitude of up to 27 km, the mass of the warhead is 1000 kg. Deviation from the target is about 30 meters. The cost of the Kh-22 missile is about a million dollars.
